Farmhouse Style Homes for Sale in Chittenden County, VT

Find Chittenden County, VT Farmhouse Style Homes for Sale

Chittenden County was farmed before it was suburban, and a surprising amount of that housing survives. The genuine article stands in Charlotte, Hinesburg, Huntington, Westford and Jericho, often with a barn or outbuildings still attached and land that has since been divided around it. Alongside those the style field also picks up newer houses built in a farmhouse idiom, which look the part without the age or the acreage. The difference matters enormously. Greentree Real Estate can tell them apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these working farms?

Mostly not. Many are former farmhouses whose land has been sold or divided, though some still carry acreage, outbuildings or current use enrolment.

Does the style field distinguish old from new?

No. A nineteenth century farmhouse and a recently built house in the same idiom appear together, so year built and lot size are what separate them.

What should be inspected on a period farmhouse?

Sill and frame condition, foundation type, chimney and roof, knob and tube wiring, insulation and heating capacity, well and septic, and the structural state of any attached barn.
